This game was engineered to get you addicted. Mathematically and scientifically produced to elicit a feeling of addiction. Instead of content, Bungie took a page out of psychology 101 and developed a game that your brain feels like it must play even if there isn't a big reward for the time invested. It takes the best and worst parts of a lottery system and hooks you. Miss a day? well you missed out on a ton of material you could have had, a daily you'll never get the engram for or the materials…what if that engram was a good one? You'll never know. So now you have to play harder to make up for the possible deficit. This keeps you playing, if you're playing you'll probably tell friends about it (word of mouth is the best form of marketing). I know the feeling, at the peak of my playing I was hooked. I played almost everyday, it became an issue, I was right there with you. Then I sat down, took a couple days off, really asked myself why I was playing so much, what was left to actually do? I found that I was playing the same stuff EVERYDAY, going to the same f*cking cave to get the same f*cking spirit bloom EVERDAY, doing the same strike EVERYDAY. That is when I stopped playing, I wasn't going to be another mindless fetcher of materials. The initial thrill was great until the hype wore off. The game has tons of potential, I'm glad they didn't live up to any of it…if this mess of a game was getting in the way of RL then just imagine if Destiny was even decent…imagine the issue we would all have then? Most of us would probably lose our jobs lol.
